I'm a righty who's left eye dominant as well. Always made shooting a challenge.

I have tried using both hands but just to check it out. Only use my dominant right hand.

Although, when I was a kid I was always jealous of the lefties and wished I was left handed myself. Liked the special scissors Smile

My dad is a lefty, and he always tells me that he is living in a right-handed world.

When I turned 12, he bought me a baseball glove that I had really wanted. I was so excited when I opened the package, only to realize he had accidentally bought a glove for a lefty.

Because of this thread I decided to shave only with my off (right) hand today. Took a little longer, but my face is still arranged just as it was.

Being a lefty is all fun and games until you have to write and get ink all over your hand.

Yes, both hands. Righty dominant, but I play guitar, so due to that experience, it seems that my left hand is a tad bit more controllable and somewhat more useful than it otherwise would be.

My friend and I were debating how handedness affects guitar playing. He's right-handed and as he's just starting out chord shapes are killing him much less than they bothered me as a lefty. I think being a lefty is actually really helpful for playing right-handed guitar.

Hadn't ever thought about it that way, but it really makes a lot of sense.

Course you could also just flip the guitar over and flip the strings too, a la Jimmy Hendrix. Or you could flip the guitar over and the strings as is a la a lot if old time blues players. You've got some serious options as a lefty, on top of the fingering deal you just noted.
